The Walking Dead PlayStation Vita Bundle Release Date Confirmed

It’s no secret we’re fans of Telltales The Walking Dead and it’s 400 Days DLC, so when we heard that a The Walking Dead Playstation Vita bundle was in the pipeline, we we’re ecstatic. Telltale and Sony have been a bit tight lipped about the bundles release date, but Gamestop employees are rarely tight lipped about anything.

I was at my local store yesterday browsing the selection and asked the employee on duty when they were getting the bundle, the CSR hadn’t heard anything about it as of yet, but after some digging he managed to get me a street date of 8-20-2013. The bundle will include The Walking Dead: Season One and it’s 400 Days DLC along with the standard fare Vita accessories.

The Vita version of the game will feature hybrid touch controls unique to the Vita. What is yet to be confirmed is if The Walking Dead content will be digital or physical. We’ve reached out to Telltale for confirmation on whether the bonus content will need to be installed to the tiny 4GB proprietary memory card, or if a physical copy of the game will be included. I’m currently on-the-fence with the vita, but bundles like this sure make it appealing.
